For all their rhetoric about safe spaces, liberals don’t seem understand the word “safe.”
As the federal government sues North Carolina over their “bathroom law,” and North Carolina countersues, my thoughts focus on those who have been sexually assaulted.
Every day, there are new victims of sexual assault. Statistics show that in the United States, about 800 people a day become victims. (And that’s just the ones that are reported.) Men, women, boys, and girls whose lives are forever changed. Sexual assault does not only violate one’s body, it violates the victim’s mind, often for life. Intimacy, trust in themselves and others, self-confidence, among other things, are battles they will fight daily.
And now the federal government and the lefty loons want these people to have to fight these battles when they need to pee.
As a woman, I’m always on alert when I go into a public bathroom. Usually once I’ve deemed the space attacker-free, I relax. These places are already good hunting grounds for scum–and not just the scum that resides in the bowl. Stalls with doors, while making a private safe space to do your business, also make it easy for attackers to hide and wait for their victims. At least with gender specific bathrooms, would-be attackers have to be sneaky about getting into a bathroom that doesn’t correspond with their genitals. With this new agenda, a man can just walk right into the women’s bathroom and no one is supposed to be alarmed. If you are alarmed, you will be labeled a bigot.
If you’re a woman who has been raped by a man, and still struggle with feeling safe around men, this agenda has to be devastating. If you can’t sit on the toilet in peace and feel safe, what then?
Liberals scream about the “rights” of about 1% of the population that identify as trans to feel “safe” when going to the bathroom. What about the rights of the other 99% of us?
These bathroom laws are dangerous. For those of us against it, it’s never been because we worry about people who are transgendered. It has always been about and will always be about the criminals who will take advantage of these laws to do their evil bidding.
